Zusammenfassung:'Insurgent Fandom offers' a behind-the-scenes look at a transnational subculture known to few - ultra. As the most dedicated soccer fans, ultras support their team through collective singing, jumping, flag-waving, & lighting marine flares. While some characterize ultras as hooligans, Max Jack argues that ultras' performative style of support is in part a protest informed by the ultras' constant friction with the state, the mainstream media, & the commercial priorities of sports' governing bodies. Because of this conflict with authority, fandom for ultras takes on a collective social life in which the game on the field often becomes a secondary concern. With political implications extending past the realm of sports, ultras have even become key actors in some of the most significant mass protests of the 21st century - including those in Cairo, Istanbul, and Kiev
